One of my favorite questions to ask myself—and my clients—comes from my mentor’s mentor, Mavis Karn:

“When’s the last time you felt the way you wish you could feel all the time?”

It’s a beautiful question because it doesn’t ask what you want to feel, or what you should feel—it simply invites you to remember a moment when you did.

For me, those moments used to show up once in a blue moon. You know, those rare days when everything just flows—the noise in your head quiets down, and life feels simple, light, and kind.

Lately, I’ve noticed that feeling showing up more often. Some days, it drifts in and out throughout the day. I don’t chase it anymore; I just notice it when it’s there—and when it’s not.

Here’s the surprising part: noticing when I don’t feel that way has become just as important as noticing when I do. In fact, I think that’s the secret.

When I’m not in that beautiful feeling, I now understand it has nothing to do with my circumstances and everything to do with the frequency my mind happens to be tuned to in that moment. Like a radio, sometimes I’m picking up static. Other times, the dial is perfectly clear.

The good news? I can always change the station—or turn the radio off altogether. And when that happens, the feeling shifts on its own. I don’t have to “fix” anything.

That’s when I find myself back in that peaceful, content, beautiful feeling again.

We experience our feelings, not our circumstances. And knowing that—even the happy feelings won’t last forever—helps me relax into life with a little more grace and a lot less struggle.

So, here’s Mavis’s question for you:

When’s the last time you felt the way you wish you could feel all the time?

Take a moment to remember it—not to get it back, but to notice that it’s already within you. Always has been.

With much love,

Yes, I share this video a lot! For good reason, and if you have not gotten its deeper message, please listen again. If you still get nothing, well, at least you heard a pretty good song.

One more for good measure.
